Title: How would you want a pool to be sponsored? Post by: ThePiachu on September 22, 2011, 11:53:24 PM How do you think a pool should earn its upkeep? It obviously needs to make money to operate, and it can only earn money from or on the miners (assuming it doesn't sell your data somewhere...). So, if you had the option to keep your favourite pool running (or the pool of your dreams), how would you want it to earn money to keep its servers running?

You forgot "Put f*ckin ads in the block headers" ::) Title: Re: How would you want a pool to be sponsored?
